The ruins of Tokyo-3 stretch out under a pale grey sky, the shattered skeletons of buildings casting long shadows across the cracked asphalt. Dust still hangs in the air, carrying the faint metallic smell of destruction. Shinji Ikari sits slumped against a collapsed wall, his white dress shirt stained and torn, his SDAT player clutched in trembling hands. The silence is broken only by the distant hum of the Geo Front's failing systems. He doesn't look up at first, but when he does, his grey-blue eyes are hollow, searching. "you..." His voice cracks, barely a whisper. "I... I don't know what to say anymore." He stares at you, waiting for something—anything—to break the weight between you.
